Everyone has their opinion of what you and I ought to be doing with our life. If you haven't experienced this yet it simply means you have no one in your life. All joking aside. Children think they know what their parents should do. Parents think they know and (usually do I might add) what their children should do. We all think we know what the politicians should be doing and on it goes.
There is really only one person who knows what we should be doing. The creator of the universe knows what every one of us should be doing. That (should be) is different for everyone at different times. If you are sick you should be sleeping or at least resting. If you are healthy and you just got back from vacation or a long weekend then by all means you should go back to work. However, doing something just because others think you "Should" is a sad way to live. God gave us all boundaries and guidelines, and yes He gave us COMMANDS! That's what we should be doing. If we each would busy ourselves with the business of our Father we would be far too busy to worry about what everyone else should or shouldn't do.
I guess what got me on this subject is having the time to actually hear all the conversations around me. One person tells another they should go eat here. Another person says everyone should cook at home Still another says get "take out". I am persuaded that if we do what God would have us to do we would encounter many divine appointments. I have gone out to eat and had the opportunity to co-labor with God and lead someone to the Lord. Other times I have gone to the grocery store and prophesied to someone and brought a healing and changed the course of their life.
Here is my challenge for you. Do what God tells you to do and let Him be the highest authority in your life. I am not saying be a lone ranger you all know me better than that. I have a husband and pastors and many counselors and family members as well as friends in my life that love me and want the best for me but as far as this world goes? They are headed the wrong way. That's why you and I are still here. We are called to be a light in the dark. Let your light shine! Be someone others can imitate. Be Jesus with skin on as they say. But more than anything be what God has called you to be! Do what God has called you to do!
John 1:5 (NIV) "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
